TEANECK, N.J., Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Year-after-year, New Jersey schools rank near the top in the nation in student achievement. Recognizing the value placed on education throughout the state, Kumon, the world's largest after-school math and reading program, established its east coast presence in Fort Lee back in 1986. Today, the Teaneck Branch of Kumon North America celebrates its 30th year bringing academic enrichment to thousands of children across Northern New Jersey and New York.
Located within the Kumon North America headquarters based in Teaneck, the company's Teaneck Branch has supported the growth of 64 Kumon Math and Reading Centers throughout the region. Kumon Centers in the region currently provide approximately 12,000 children in preschool through high school with the skills needed to compete in today's world.
"We continue to prove our commitment to helping children reach their potential and that's evident in the tremendous growth we've experienced in Northern New Jersey and New York over the past 30 years," says Caroline Rostkowski, Teaneck Branch Manager at Kumon North America. "As the demand for Kumon continues to increase, our goal remains to offer high-quality education for our communities."

The two have shared the same office for 21 years.
